October 2019 Filers

[Petunia1502]

I understand how difficult the wait is. Our PD was October 7 and we only just got the EAD approved last week. Before that, nothing. It was 6 months to the day. Hang in there. It looks like they are finally catching up to our filing month so your time should come very soon!

I’m trying to stay positive but it’s tough! Especially with COVID wow this tough! I haven’t had a crumb of good news since I filed.. ????

Hello, may I ask why was your I-485 denied? and where is your field office?

It was denied because they claimed they sent a letter asking for more information however we never received such letter, there wasn’t any update or anything. Field office is Florida but it’s at nations benefit center in Missouri

They changed my status back from case is ready to be scheduled for interview to "Name is Updated" (they misspelled my name), but it says my I-765 was approved. I'm not sure what this means in terms of timeline..but it's an update at least

[NYCNLC]

USCIS website updated saying they approved our EAD on 4/21! Can someone let me know how long it typically takes for the card to arrive in the mail?

Thank you! Hopefully it's as fast as yours. We're moving June 1st and I'd rather not have to alert USCIS to a change of address right in the middle of us waiting for an important document in the mail.

Hi tunderenee,

Sorry, haven't been very active on the forums recently. I got an interview scheduled later this month. I saw from your posts that it is important to have copies of all the documents that were sent with the applications in case the interviewer is missing pages from it. Did the interviewer ask for any updated documents from you? Did you bring any updated documents (you don't need to be specific, I'm just curious)?

Hello I see I never responded. So this is the issue. They schedule you an interview for the I-485, but normally the i-130 should be reviewed approved and then the interview for the I-130. But that is in a perfect world. So now they are reviewing the I-130 smh. So I brought in a notarized letter from my landlord acknowledging my husband has lived with me since we were married, proof of joint bank account, copy of a utility bill with both of our names, and letter and documentation that he cannot be added onto my health insurance without having a ssn#. I have considered writing a complaint against the officer that interviewed me. Im sitting in an interview and this half blind man just walks in and was asking her for a little baggy just cuts me off in the middle of my responding to question and then automatically she would switch to a different question now allowing me to finish. One time she got up and left to speak to someone who called her to the door and then once back she will start a new question and I had to go back an say as I was saying. At first she was telling me that the interview could not continue because a certain form was missing. glad I had my own copy, because I know everything was included and had to show her where it was and she was like oh. She did not even review anything prior to me coming into the office. smh

Good morning everyone. Just to let you all know, my hubby got his conditional green card yesterday Now we can be at ease and just live a "normal" life until 2022. Be safe out there.

Be patient everyone your time will come. God is great

Good for you! Congrats to you and yours!

So hubby completed his interview appt at the SSA this morning and submitted the SS-5 application for his SSN/card. Smh. So they said they can't verify his work permit (he submitted the original at the appointment) so they have to submit to DHS to verify the validity blah blah blah up to 4 weeks to receive the card in the mail. Smh, rolling my eyes and sucking my teeth.

Hi Guys,

I'm a US citizen and sponsoring my husband, who is from India. We started this process and have been sitting at "waiting for interview" since January. I've been reading here more and more that people who started the same time as us have their card in hand. That's super exciting but also frustrating as we have been waiting so long and now probably longer due to the new executive order. Is there anyone else who filed in October in a similar situation. Our field office in is Minneapolis, MN. It's my understanding that they tend to take longer?

Much thanks!

Hello and thanks for getting back to me. Since your I-130 still needs to be approved, I'm guessing you haven't got the GC yet. I'll make sure to bring copies of the documents I sent once we go for the interview, which should hopefully be soon after they open up their field office again. I did get my EAD approved recently, so that's something at least.

Sorry to hear your experience with your interview wasn't good. I've seen and heard different versions of how the interview has been conducted, from pretty straightforward to having each spouse separately answer questions about the other spouse and then comparing between the answers. It makes it a little difficult to prepare for the interview, beyond bringing all kinds of documentation to prove the marriage is bonafide.

Thanks again for your reply and I hope you'll get your I-130 approved soon!
